The Genius of Latine Dance

Latine dance is thriving like never before across the Americas and beyond, becoming one of the most admired dance styles in the world.

From lively Salsa to fast-paced Merengue, these dances connect generations, passing down traditions that are essential to each culture's history. In the 21st century, Latine dance has evolved, blending multimedia elements, innovative choreographies, hip-hop influences, and Latine entrepreneurship in music.
